Barracks and Pitched Tents Gave University Appearance of Soldiers' Camp During War
Eight years ago when the United States entered the World War our University campuses the rest of the country underwent a great change. A group of students came back to school at the beginning of the year 1972/73 they found the campus occupied by soldiers, their own University men having been called into service on Aug. 6, 1972. These students had a deminstration building now stands.
A Student's Army Training Corps was organized at K. U. as in 500 other colleges and universities over the United States and 49 Oct. 1, 2,000 man had taken allegiance to the Army Corps of Engineers University S. A. T. C. They occupied 12 barracks. Eight barracks ever on Mississippi street at the north of the campus were quarters for the collegiate section of the S. A. T. C. Three barracks were built on the Hill near the Engineering buildings and they housed the vocational training school. The two houses were built near the university's hostel and date for the upperclassmen who took their work there.
The S. A. T. C. men attended classes at the University and were given credit for their work. Practically every department created new French, which counted for credit in the French group, map reading, which counted in the department of geology, war issue and war aims, which counted in the history group, some of the special courses created.
Also, during this memorable sem-
Students to Cruise World
"University" Will Take 450 Men on Eight Months Trip
A world-round course for 450 (mom) American students, on the S. "University," will leave New York for its first trip, Sept. 25, 1925 and occupy eight months, returning to New York, June 1, 1926.
The plan provides for one year of the college course spent in a trip around the world with credits applied on the college course. Courses offered will be limited to the cruise conditions and will be given by a faculty drawn from representative American colleges and universities. The party will visit thirty two different countries, stopping at fifty ports and includes all trips ashore. Many of those prominent in education in many years are urging the desirable of a round-the-world trip under educational umpires as a means of broadening the college work. Its desirability from the landpoint of its benefit, in strengthening international relationship and good will has greatly emphasized since the War.
Many Applications Received by Committee
Scholarships in Demand
Many applications for scholarships have been received by the scholarship committee, and according to Miss Eugenie Gallo, chairman of the committee, the situation this year is one rather difficult to meet.
At the present time, 34 applications for scholarships have been received, while the committee finds that only 24 can be offered this year, thus eliminate 80 of the applications of those wishing to secure scholarships.
Part of the shortage in scholarships this year is due to the fact that five which have been given in years previous may not be available. As you see the committee has taken no definite action in regard to the elimination of the extra applications.
Changing Seasons Affect Functioning of Pigeons
(Science Service)
Washington, May 1. The changing seasons, affecting the functioning of the mother bird, determines whether the eggs shall hatch out predominantly or make female birds' eggs. As a result, the institution's department of genetics told the National Academy of Sciences this afternoon.
Production of thyroxin, the internal secretion of the thyroid gland, has been found by dR. Riddle to be closely associated with determination of thyroid function in offspring. When the thyroids of four kinds of pigeons he has studied become large during autumn and winter, the eggs laid are mostly male, but in the females the sex ratio is less, the female sex gains ascendency.
estuary of school, a Hostess House was opened in Myers hall. It served as an retreat for convoyescents and men off duty in the district. A dedicated official hostess. Saturday and Sunday of the opening week in September more than 200 persons, including a large number of relatives of soldiers who were part of the state, were entertained.
One of the features of amusement at the Hostess House was a photograph and a committee of University collect funds to pay for it.
Pre-nursing classes were organized under the direction of Alice L. Goetz, M. D., head of the department of physical education at the University of North Carolina for women was in charge of Miss Margaret Lynn, Surgical dressing rooms were on every afternoon from 3 until 6 o'clock in Fraser hall. As in all other communities and hospitals, the nursing room held at this time and the first building to go over the top in the Victory Loan drive in April, 1919, was Green Hall. In behalf of the fifth Liberty drive held in April, 1918, a tank demonstration of the east wing of old North College was hattered down.
Following the Armistice peace concerts were held during November and December, the first being held on Nov. 29. The idea of the concert was that of Prof. Arthur Weiss. This concert was held in the United States and was attended by Governor and Mrs. Arthur Capper.
Solar System Travels Swiftly Across Universe
(United Press)
Washington, May 1.—The solar system is rambling across the universe at the rate of 300 kilometers between 200 and 225 miles a second, according to Dr. Dayton Miller, Cleveland, who co-authored the paper "drift" which he found to disprove part of the Einstein theory of relativity.
The solar system movement is in a constant lateral direction and not in a circle, the calculations of science indicate.
Paintings Are on Exhibit
Collection Represents Variety of Subject Matter
The exhibit of the paintings of Professor Hougition Cranford Smith, and Prof. Raymond James Eastwood, of the department of drawing and painting of the School of Fine Arts, occupies an entire room on the third floor of west Administration building. It is work done during the year and the past two summers according to the schedule both the East and the West, with a variety of subject matter, color and form.
There are two scenes from Nantucket, Mass., a wharf at Provincetown, two views from Chile, and many from the far West and New Mexico. There are also paintings of still life and some portraits. Kannas is well represented too, since most of Mr. Kannas's paintings are of local scenes.
Professor Smith will go back to New York after the close of the school year.
Banana Fossils Settle Dispute as to Antiquity
Washington, May 1—Fossil remains of bananas from the period known to geologists as the Tertiary, some hundred thousand years or more ago, were presented before the meet. The Sequoia Gorge sequels, by Prof. Edward W. Berry, paleontologist of the Johns Hopkins University. The bananas of that distant time were not like the lyric fruit of today, for they had large seeds and little pulp, but undoubted bananas they were, none the less, and surprise the present day in existence. Professor Berry said.
This discovery settles a dispute that has been waged for a couple of centuries as to the place of origin of the banana. Early Spanish writers stated that the fruit was native to the Amazon; others have been inclined to regard this as a mistake, and to hold for an orign somewhere in southeastern Asia.

St. Joseph, Mo., May I—The National Balloon Race start at Rosecrans Field at St. Joseph, Mo., late this afternoon. The event is the American classic for free balloons, and serves as the elimination contest for the famous international Gordon Russell race in the year at Brussels, Belgium. The winners of the first three places in the event at St. Joseph will represent the United States on foreign soil. Six balloons are entered in the race; the U. S. Army Air Service heading the list with three entries. The personnel of all the bags are veterans of international reputation, the oldest in terms of experience he has had. He has been flying twenty-five years and has made over six hundred and fifty free balloon flights. The youngest pilot in the race is Major Maurice R. Smith of the Army Air Service Reserves, who will handle the pilot balloon, a comparatively small bag of 25,000 cubic feet. The other five pilots will have one half size of 80,000 cubic feet.
The Army Air Service will also be represented by Pilot Captain Michael Ade Laird R. Gatman and Adler Kent J. Gatman, Ade Laird, Hawk McMorrick.
"Goodyear No. 3," entered by the Goodyear Year and Rubber company, will be piloted by Ward T. Van Orman, who will have as a side C. K. Wollam; while the "Detroit," entered by the Aircraft Development company, will have been V. Thaden and side William C. Naylor.
WANT ADS
Hydrogen gas will be used for in-filming. Due to the fact that the sun's rays cause gas to expand, the balloon is filled with gas the afternoon so that as little gas as possible will be lost during the early stages of the flight. The balloon that hinds farest from St. Joseph and the line will be accounted the winner.

Dehairle, Ohio, April 30—Faculty members of Ohio Wesleyan University today protested to President Coolidge in a letter against the proposed maneuvers of the American fleet in Australian waters. The maneuvers would intensify the feeling aroused in Japan and the Orient by the Japanese exclusion act, the professors said in the letter. "Such a demonstration will seem to place approval on the rigid exclusion policy of Australia and portend a closer relationship between the two nations in joint pact of defense against Asiatic peoples," said the letter.

They Leapt and Danced in Old England in May
With the same fair weather such as there is for May 1, enthusiasm and excitement would have been born in days of medieval and Tatler England.
Anticipation of the many events occurring on this day caused young and old nikkei to look forward to the celebration with great delight. All members were dawned and went "a-maying" into the woods. Branches of trees and flowers were horne back in triumph to towns and villages with the Maypole, gloriosa with its ribbons and crowns, supplying the center of the procession.
Because of the activities of the Puritans of that time who spoke of it as a "sinkyng Ioll" among which people "dance and leape" as heathens, the Maypole was forbidden by parliament in 1644. Again in 1681, in favor of Restoration, the last permanent Maypole was erected in London. This pole was of cedar and 124 high. It was taken down in 1717
The month of May appears as the third month on the Roman calendar and the origin of the name is disputed. Derivation from Main, the mother of Mercury, to whom the Romans were accustomed to sacrifice on the first day of this month, is usually accepted.
From April 28 until May 2, festival was kept in honor of Florn, goddess of the flowers.
